You can buy Henna as no colering for health, red or black and some special for coloring Hairs red.

Normaly the color you becam is orangered to a brown red, if you use black henna its a dark redbrown color. It would be darker when you let stay it a longer time on the skin or in the hair. The color and darknes is dependent from the kind of skin or Hair to.

For painting on skin you can buy some ready mixed past in tubes or you can prepair a past by yourself with black tea and Water but the past must be a very long time on skin and must be dump the hole time for best result. You can do this with fresh lemmonjuice with Sugar in it. Take it over the painting all hour and put some cotton and plastic over it to be ware. In Egypt some Hennapainters take a past who give good Results in only 1 to 2 hours. But with this is the same, if longer on skin if better result. Ornament1
